NEW SHELVES IN THE KITCHEN

Kitchen wall shelves

Here is something I did for 2nd Man as a surprise. We had this big empty spot on the wall behind the stove. Storage and a place to put stuff is always important in a smaller house and so we did not need a big empty wall with nothing useful on it. Sort of like the JULIA WALL we recently did.So one day at lunch, I found these really neat cast iron shelf brackets that looked sufficiently retro/vintage. Then I went to a local hardware store and bought a couple of prefab white shelves. They are both 3 feet long. I got two sizes, the top one is 12" deep and the bottom one is 8" deep so that it doesn't interfere with working on the marble top table next to the stove.

He saw it this weekend and of course loved it. Now he has a blank slate to fill up as he desires. Cooking oils, herbs and spices, maybe some mixing bowls?I'll have to make sure that I at least have some input, ha.After the UTILITY SINK SHELVES I recently did, it's been a regular shelf-a-palooza at the farm. And I still have one more place to put another set up!

Definitely important, and especially in a small house. Side note, I put some things on the shelves and he said "no, i don't like those on there" Oh, it's going to be one of those types of interactions, LOL.

You know, that is a good idea. Now we do have a window directly opposite this, over the sink (pic coming soon from another project we did), but a window over here would reflect that light. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you for the nice comment on my blog...we are well...adjusting to the new Normal after my husband's heart surgery. Took a few very long weekends to the cabin to gather strength! Having computer issues and just not good at the Kindle keyboard! I do read all of your posts...love them...just don't comment often. I'll be back to blogging soon...lots to catch up on.

YAY YOU ARE BACK! Well, I guess you've been around but it's so nice to hear from you. The new normal can take getting used to, I've had close friends go through that. Thank you for your sweet comment, your blog is always an inspiration to me. Sending good wishes to you and your family and most importantly to your husband.

Aren't the brackets great? They are a heavy cast iron and when I saw them I just KNEW they would be perfect.

About Me

Born in the city, raised in the city, work in the city, but long to live in the country...so, we bought an old farmhouse on acreage in the country, and now the journey begins. This blog will share that journey, as we hope to become more self sufficient and eventually move away from the hustle and bustle of the fast paced life we've led. Along the way, we'll share ideas, photos, plans, recipes, crafts, and hopefully get a lot from you all as well. Welcome to the great state of Texas and our farm, Seda Bolsa Farm!
